It really bugs me that I can't enter RTE GAA competitions.

If they linked it to your tv licence number, would that make it a more valid competition?

I don't/can't pay an RTE licence in the North so fair enough, but I'm pretty sure RTE are using me in their viewing numbers when they quote their commercial advertising rates.  I'm just as likely to visit SuperValu or buy a Renault as the next fella. Are they making money off me - yes.  So if the argument is about not contributing, then it doesn't cut.

What is the reason? Is it not gambling laws or something like that or am I imagining that?

Change the law then.  This should not be beyond the wit of man.

Jez, don't be getting ye're knickers in a twist about a RTE money making competition. Believe me if RTE could legally have the Kings pound filling up their coffers, they'd gladly take it.

In the event of tens of thousands of nordies led by Tony Fearon, who would all be running like dodos with their 2 euros to take part in this scam, does anyone seriously think that RTE would look that gift horse in the mouth?
Jaysus, nordie victimhood knows no end, now it's discriminatory that they can't be scammed just like everybody else on the other side of the border   ;D

Surely what is required is a broker in Monaghan

McBennett will be tweeting this evening that 1.2 million people watched the All Ireland, and the RTE  commercial team will be selling advertising for big bucks off the back of it.  Does that include northern viewers?

Ever been to Dublin, and heard how they might refer to Monaghan folk, ie, "dem nordie bastards"?  :P
